Paprika Chicken, Bacon and Cheese Parcels

Chicken breasts stuffed with applewood cheese, wrapped in bacon and seasoned with paprika and pepper. 
This is a more simple and cheaper version of the first recipe I posted on here (see here). Applewood cheese is seasoned itself with paprika, which is why I kept it a recurring theme for the chicken. Takes about 15 minutes to prepare at the most and I served it with chips and mixed green veg, though you could always use mash. This serves two people.

Ingredients:
- two chicken breasts
- 4 rashers of bacon
- some applewood cheese
- paprika and pepper to season

Step One
Preheat your oven to 200°. 
Slice a big pocket into your chicken breasts and place as many slices of the cheese that you can into them.
Sprinkle a little seasoning on it, fold the flap over and season the outside a little as well.


Step Two

Wrap the bacon around the breasts. Not too tight that things start spilling out but tight enough that they are secure and then season top and bottom.

Step Three

Get an oven tray and place a sheet of tinfoil on it. Drizzle a tiny bit of oil to stop the chicken sticking with some more seasoning and then place the chicken on the tray.
Put another bit of foil on top and fold the corners so it makes a wee case around the chicken. Cook in the oven for about 40 minutes.
